suggest
that I adopt the servile manners
of his people!
Your Glory doesn't
seem to be responding
to instruction.
I will never
forgive the council
for putting me
through this torture.
Were you responding
to my demand
for better quarters?
There are none better.
I suggest you
make do with these.
You suggest?
There are
no more available.
If that's the only way
you can get gratification,
I'll arrange to have the whole room
filled from floor to ceiling
with breakable objects.
I will not
be humiliated!
Then act in
a civilized fashion.
I did not give you
permission to leave!
I didn't ask for any.
Oh!
Captain, I wish to
contact my government.
I cannot
fulfil my mission.
It would be an insult
to our ruler
to bring this incorrigible monster
as a bride!
Ambassador! This is supposed to
be a peaceful mission.
There cannot be peace
between us.
We have deluded ourselves.
Captain,
when I am near them,
I do not want peace.
I want to kill them.
You're as bad as she is.
It's not required
that you like each other.
Just do your job.
The job --
The job is impossible.
We cannot make peace
with people we detest.
Stop trying
to kill each other!
Then worry about
being friendly.
But if she won't
listen to me --
Then make her listen,
Ambassador.
Use a different approach.
Stop being
so diplomatic.
She respects strength.
Go in strong.
At first it appeared
to be a sensor ghost,
but I've run checks
on all the instrumentation.
All the equipment
is functioning perfectly.
Hydrogen cloud reflection?
None in this area.
Nothing that would
account for it.
The ghost appears
intermittently.
Speculation?
None, Captain.
Insufficient data.
It's not an
instrument malfunction.
It's not a reflection
from a natural phenomenon.
A spaceship?
[Scotty]
Engineering to Captain Kirk.
Kirk here.
Captain,
I know what you said
about showing respect,
but must I have
these persons
fool around
with my equipment?
Hang on, Scotty.
Be pleasant no matter
how much it hurts.
I'll be right down.
We're only running
on impulse engines now.
Ordinarily, we use
the warp engines exclusively.
Well ... I suppose ...
lassie ...
that even
our impulse engines
must seem fast
compared to your
nuclear propulsion units.
We are interested
in how the ship
is used in combat,
not in what drives it.
Engines are for
mechanics and menials.
Menials?
Without engines,
there'd be no fighting or --
[Kirk]
Mr. Scott!
I wish you had told me
you wanted a tour of
the engineering department.
Do we not have
the freedom of this ship?
We have granted your crew
the permission
not to kneel
in our presence.
What else do you want?
Courtesy. Remember?
Courtesy is not
for inferiors.
Courtesy is for
everyone around here,
and you'll find
you won't be able
to exist on Troyius
without it.
Mr. Scott,
our chief engineer,
has shown you
his engineering department.
That's a courtesy.
You respond
by saying thank you.
[Intercom Whistles]
[Spock]
Bridge to Captain.
Kirk here.
That sensor ghost
is moving closer.
On my way.
Lost contact now.
[Door Opens]
Captain, we had a momentary fix
on the object,
enough to establish
it was a spaceship.
Whose?
No data yet.
[Sulu]
Captain!
Distant bearing, sir.
Mark 73.5.
Main screen.
Extreme magnification.
Our ghost
has materialized.
A Klingon warship.
Any change, Mr. Spock?
Negative, Captain.
The Klingon ship has simply
moved into contact range.
She is pacing us,
precisely matching
our sub light speed
and on a parallel course.
Security to Captain Kirk.
Kirk here.
What is it?
Disturbance in the
Dohlman's quarters, sir.
On my way.
Captain,
it's Ambassador Petri.
They refuse to explain
what's happening with them.
Her Glory
has not summoned you.
Kryton,
remove that Troyian pig.
It was a deep wound, Jim.
He lost a lot of blood,
but he'll recover.
If I recover,
it will be no thanks
to you, Captain.
I said talk with her,
